These things are fairly cheap now, and many have nice options for automatically stopping/starting recording of tracks when the song changes on the LP. The only disadvantage to these units is that they record on "audio" or "for consumer" CDs and refuse to record on regular data CDs. From an end user's perspective, there's not really much difference in the two, except you have to remember to put the right kind of CD in the audio CD recorder to record on. Computers don't care - they'll read or write either type. I've got a Terapin CD/CD-Video recorder that works great for transferring old vinyl, tape, or even VHS movies to CD. (Funny thing is, the Terapin will happily record VIDEO to data CDs, but will fuss if you try to record audio only. Go figure... must be an RIAA thing.) If you absolutely MUST record via your sound card, then your best bet is probably to connect the line-level output of your preamp to the line-level input of your sound card. I think an audio-CD recorder would be much less of a pain in the butt, though. :) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
